Product and Part Identification

Identification encompasses a range of machine vision applications that involve reading printed characters and decoding 1D or 2D symbols on products. For traceability of production parts, verification of product lots or grading of print codes, DALSA’s Identification tools are designed for accurate results in the toughest of manufacturing environments.

2D code on pharmaceuticals

Consumer UPC code

Characters on cast metal part

Circular print

Identification Applications

Work in process inventory management--verify moving parts through a fabrication process

Cradle to grave part traceability

Product verification--assure 1D or 2D code matches printed text

Product identification and sorting

Date and lot code verification

Code Verification--detect problems with the marking system for preventive maintenance

Character and Object Readers

Character or symbol recognition is common in many maufacturing or production environments.

DALSA products include trainable Object Character Recognition (OCR) tools atha can handle the variation and diversity of most printing methods in use today.

OCR is based on pattern matching and so can be applied to a diverse range of verification applications outside of character reading. Often manufacturers will use OCR to build a library of parts that can later be identified and sorted.
